Participation 2

I have to admit I didn't know much about the Internet other than what I learned from Spaceship Earth at Disney World, namely the image of a young man (Steve Jobs) in a garage in California. I was more focused on the mathematical/scientific aspect of the Internet I didn't even consider other countries or politics being involved. I also found all of the acronyms to be confusing. I felt like the video was fairly easy to follow, though it was much more complicated than I originally thought. Why did it take until 1990 to remove the APRANET component?
